On
April 9th Mercury retrogrades for three weeks.Mercury retrograde in Taurus is interesting
because on the new moon we had Venus conjunct the Sun and Moon speaking of
values.Now with Mercury retrograde, Taurus
is ruled by Venus, so we are once again talking about value, self esteem and self
worth. We consider if we are being
valued enough?Mercury retrograde in
Taurus can bring up money issues.We might really wonder if we are being paid
enough for our services?Also for the
three weeks of retrograde we will be mindful of where we are ‘wasting’ our
time.We could have lost mail including checks.We may want to put some money in a slush fund
in case we come up short somewhere.Taurus is of course a very practical sign and during the retrograde we
may see some kinks in our systems that have always worked or perhaps we thought
they always worked.But now we have to
problem solve and come up with a new system.As annoying as that can be we will be better for it when the retrograde
is over because the improved system will turn out to be more sustainable than
what we had prior to the retrograde.The
truth is we all would benefit by cleaning up skills and styles and retrograde Mercury
in Taurus could provide us that opportunity.When Mercury re-enters Aries on the 20th we could find
ourselves a little snappy.Take note if
you go too far and maybe you need to apologize or maybe you need to think what
is really at the crux of the snap.Make
changes because that simply is the best practical move.And remember we are here to rethink our
practical nature.
